Have you ever wondered what the positions of the PTA board consisted of?
President

and retain volunteers. Welcome a diverse and inclusive group of member,
volunteers and leaders. Run effective programs. Manage money and raise funds.
Support membership growth and retention. Run effective meetings. Ensure all
voices are heard through effective use of parliamentary procedure. Advocate on behalf of students. Attend

Leadership Vice President
The main role of the Leadership VP is to sustain the
President. The Leadership VP gives active help and encouragement to the
President in making PTA successful. Attend monthly board meetings and
give a monthly training on our by-laws or leadership principles.
Secretary
The main role of the Secretary is to keep minutes of motions
and decisions made by the board of the association. Minutes from meetings are
considered legal documents for the IRS and other entities. The Secretary also
conducts correspondence for the association. The Secretary should serve as a
support to the president in whatever is needed. Attend monthly board
meetings.
Treasurer
The Treasurer, elected by the members, is the legally
responsible, and authorized custodian of the funds of the PTA unit. The
Treasurer does more than make deposits and write checks. It is the Treasurer
who ensures that the unit’s finances are properly handled. This is a critical
job, since proper handling of the unit’s finances will keep the unit in good
standing and maintain its credibility with the members, the school, and the
public.
A Treasurer must be diligent, knowledgeable, and
conscientious in order to maintain accurate and up-to-date records. These
records should be kept in accordance with standard, accepted accounting
practices and must comply with PTA bylaws and IRS regulations. You will
also attend monthly board meetings.
Membership Chair
The strength of our PTA lies in its membership – the
parents, teachers, school administrators, business leaders, and community
members who devote themselves to making a positive difference in the lives of
children. Members are the lifeblood of Utah PTA. Some of the
membership chairs duties include:
The membership chair is responsible for facilitating the
work of the membership committee and ensuring timely, accurate communication
with other PTA committees and officers. The membership chair and committee
should develop a membership growth plan that will direct the activities of the
committee. This plan will create membership recruitment and retention
strategies that will lead to overall membership growth.
Legislative Vice President
The main role of the Legislative VP is to be well informed of the education issues in Utah in order to educate your local Board and local membership. You will attend monthly PTA board meetings and legislative training at the Utah PTA Advocacy Conference, Utah PTA Legislative Conference and the PTA Day at the Capitol. You also attend meet the candidate night. Other duties include: studying legislative information in national, state, region, and council mailings and publications and following issues in the media.
There will be many other positions to fill once a new Executive Board has been appointed. If you would like to volunteer or chair an event, please come to our PTA meeting in May.
